A Diary in the Strictest Sense
by (british) Bronislav Malinowski, School Of Yu Xin
About This Novel
Anthropology's most controversial private diary to date. As one of the most important anthropologists of the 20th century, Malinowski's diary sparked a controversy that lasted for nearly two decades after it was published in 1967. This book mainly consists of two parts, namely Malinowski's diaries from 1914-1915 and 1917-1918. In the diary, he recorded various experiences during his fieldwork. As a private diary that was never intended to be published, his record is simple and clear. It is a precious historical record. From it, we can get a glimpse of the actual living conditions of the New Guinea natives at that time, as well as the darker side of Malinowski as an ordinary person and his thoughts on personal life, career and emotions.
